"GO HOME" is the edgy new Iowa GOP slogan for the young people. When a group of students visited the state capitol to testify about the effects of budget cuts on higher education, GOP State Senator Shawn Hammerlinck told the students, "I do not like it when students actually come here and lobby me for funds," because democracy is over now and THERE WILL BE NO LOBBYING unless it is done by old men with bags of gold coins. Shawn Hammerlinck does not appreciate hearing from constituents when they want to ask him for money. That is his job, to ask people for money, to elect him, so he can yell at voters. Video after the jump!
"I want to thank you for joining us and though I have to concede, your time speaking before us is kind of a tad intense. It's probably a pretty new experience. You probably prepared for it for days and you sat there in front of us trying to make sure your remarks were just right, and that's a good thing. But actually spending your time worrying about what we're doing up here, I don't want you to do that. Go back home. Thanks, guys."
Was Hammerlinck an early victim of education cuts, or did he only sleep through English class so he could use redundancy winners like "kind of a tad" in the face of students who actually want to learn? Sorry, learners, your education was not meant for you to start "worrying" about what your government is up to.

And ladies, don't worry your pretty little heads about these complicated things like your choices about sexual reproduction or the education and health of your youngin's.
here's some thoughts for you shawn:
1. you are a <i> state senator</i> in IOWA. you are not important.
2. you look like the dictionary picture for the entry &#039;douche&#039;.
3. you have the stupidest public servant (see what i did there shawn?) name since &#039;Shelley Sekula Gibbs&#039; who - come to think of it - looks like a noble winner compared to you.
